Canterlot City is an “exclave” within the Sacramento metro. Within its town proper is Crystal Prep Academy. Cadance successfully applied for the position of Principal at Crystal Prep after what could only be described as a tumultuous state of affairs in their administrative world. Their arch-rival, Canterlot High School, is similarly an “exclave” within Rancho Cordova, one of Sacramento’s suburbs. Sol and Selena used to work at Canterlot High before they moved to the nation’s capital.

Because of the nature of her work, Cadance now has to split time between Sacramento and Anchorage. CPA was kind enough to assist with finding living accommodations, since I do not have any real estate in that region (unless she wanted to commute from San Francisco, which was not really an option due to the 100-mile distance one way, plus the obvious schedule strain of being an administrator.)

In her first year as Principal, her ambitious student association approached her with the prospect of their Spring Dance, which after last year’s success, feels needed to be outdone. Their idea involves Hawaii, a dream vacation destination for many and certainly a way to outdo a simple evening on a yacht.

Mario tag as Rosalina appears. No other characters appear.

Rated T for abrasiveness.

EDIT: Sex tag added for mildly explicit reference to genitalia used in a historical context in the final chapter.

A/N: Reviewing the map of Canterlot City, coupled to the general acceptance of Canterlot being a California city, Sacramento best fits the geophysical description and is most analogous to the rendering.
